Using citation search

Citation search lets you look for words that occur in author or title fields.

The citation search query form.

To use the citation form ...

1. Enter a term or phrase in the text box. Multiple words will be treated as a literal string, not separately in an "any word" or "all words" sense. Use an asterisk with a word stem to find variations on the word (e.g., searching for jo* will match johnson, jones, etc.). All other punctuation will be ignored.
   
   
2. Use the pulldown button to select a region of a text to search within.
   
   
3. To restrict the search to a range of collections matching certain criteria, select values in the collection filters. Collections matching the criteria will be automatically selected in the collection list. (this step is optional)
   
   
4. To manually add or remove collections from the collection list, check or uncheck the checkbox next to a collection name. (this step is optional).
   
   
5. Click the "search checked collections" button to submit the query.
